Of the publishing industry’s four major trade (the other three includeKirkus, Booklist, and Library Journal) magazines, Adelle Waldman writes at Slate that “Publishers Weekly, or PW, is the biggie—it plays Coke to Kirkus‘ Pepsi.” A “'starred’ review in PW still increases a book’s chance of getting media coverage and showi... These also determine which books Amazon promotes. A starred review indicates a book of outstanding quality.

Imagine my pleasure when I came across a starred review of my book.

I've been working on my platform all week. I updated my website: www.amleahy.com.

I even put together a blog trailer for Lofty Ambitions: http://loftyambitions.wordpress.com/2012/03/16/lofty-ambitions-blog....

Any advice on best practices for platform development? What works in the industry's eyes? New things I might try (as if I have any more time)?

Terrific post, Kiana.  After today's rejection (of 100 pages), I'm thinking I may look into Amazon before considering self-publishing.  I am just becoming weary of the querying & waiting.  It's been about long enough.
